Conquering Our Mountains

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

In a spiritual sense, a mountain can represent any obstacle that stands in the way of victory. This message looks at how to overcome the obstacles and trials that are trying to pull us down into the valley of hardship and defeat below.
